FRONT PAGE CONTRIBUTOR

Crossroads takes on Elizabeth Warren’s support of the Occupiers

By: Dan Spencer (Diary)  |  November 10th, 2011 at 11:04 PM  | 

RESIZE: AAA

The good folks at Crossroads Grassroots Policy Strategies released a new TV ad in Massachusetts taking on Democrat Senator wannabee Elizabeth Warren for her support of the “Occupy Wall Street” movement.

You may remember that a couple of weeks ago Warren not only embraced the Occupier Party, but in Al Gore-like fashion, claimed credit for creating the “intellectual foundation” for the movement:

“I created much of the intellectual foundation for what they do. I support what they do.“

Watch the ad, appropriately called “Foundation.”

Hopefully the Foundation ad will help inform Massachusetts voters about the the radical views of Elizabeth Warren.

As the Occupiers continue to devolve from simple aimless silliness to dangerous thuggery, mayhem and now disease, the Democrats will regret their shameless support of the Occupiers.

    “There’s something about Marxism that brings out warts; the only kind of growth this economic system encourages.”- P. J. O’Rourke

    Y’all have a good day, Ma’am.

    “We can’t wait,either!”- only 436 days until real hope and change is here.

    And if the majority supports Occupy, this is good for informing those on the center and to the right but this could have been much more effective. Call her a National Socialist and not an International Socialist, connecter her to the old right wing of socialism and so on.

    Yes we need help up here and we thank you, but please understand who we are fighting and how to divide them.

    Ms warren, go to Cuba and then tell me Socialism works.

    Ms Thatcger had it right, Socialism works till you run out of money ( other peoples)

    And he’s not obsessed about going after other conservatives.

    But not sure how effective this ad is given the Massachusetts electorate. As we saw with the media this week, need to beware of the law of unintended consequences … http://bit.ly/qVdDUt

    The ad is quite effective. This is Massachusetts, not California. People here demand a functioning government and will elect a Republican if they don’t get it. Remember that in most of the 90s and 2000s there were Republican governors. Prop 2 1/2 got on the ballot and passed and a primary seatbelt law was repealed at the ballot box. Bay Staters are liberal until you bother them or cause a problem. Did you know that the Mass. state income tax rate is lower than Georgia’s?

      I live in northern MA myself.

      And there are two kinds of liberal Democrats here:

      a) The college campus crowd, who sneer at the rest of America, and for whom the Occupy protesters are heroes;

      b) The working-class union members, who are proud of their country.

      This ad sure won’t work with the college campus crowd. The more Warren identifies with the Occupy protesters, the more likely the students and professors are to vote for her. (You ought to see how the humanities departments of Harvard and M.I.T. have become radicalized.)

      But the working-class men and women are different. I see plenty of pickup trucks around where I live with two types of bumper stickers on the trucks:

      “Union YES! Machinists’ Local NNN”
      and
      “Proud to be AMERICAN”

      Those are the folks who voted for Scott Brown. And they will do so again–unless they believe that the GOP is out to bash their unions.

      We really need to either stop the union-bashing or refocus it on public-employee paper-pushers. The blue-collar workers I see are decent, patriotic and hard-working. Why are we making them into targets just because they’ve organized into unions?

        I live on the Cape, the most conservative part of MA(which isn’t saying much). No Warren presence here at all. This area went about 65% for Brown last year and will go for him again, probably somewhere in the 58-60% realm(having been in office already he’s undoubtedly pissed off a few voters).
        There is a hurdle, however. I work in the media, and the googly-eyed love for Warren in the media is sickening. They consider her a combo of JFK, MLJ and Obama. She’ll get every benefit of the doubt from the MA media, especially (and obviously) the Globe.

        • tailfins1959

          She is a textbook example of shrill. Was it VB Goudie on Fox 25 that said her tone is like a wife that just caught her husband cheating? More more she talks the more people’s nerves she grates on.

      I live in liberal La-La Land, the Happy Valley, the five collage of indoctrination camps of W/Mass and you are wrong about the ideology here. Read here for a small taste of it?.

      In their own words take note of whom they stand with and describe their party affiliation here?.

      http://files.meetup.com/1394602/NoHoPro2.wav

      In addition, the history of this I described here?

      http://www.redstate.com/1strichard/2011/02/27/the-american-dream/

      I have four decades of fighting the socialist agenda here including the Brown 41 campaign from the start on to fighting Agenda 21 in my own town hall. On the political spectrum normal or independent is so far left because the extreme left is far beyond extreme, this includes those that abuse the brand R. When you use the propaganda and blatant lie that state income tax rate is lower, you are using the same populist dissertation Romney used. Yes income tax rate is lower but only because a fee is not a tax. The towns could not increase taxes but services such as trash collection became a fee and more then doubled. Therein the real problem, this is an extremely complicated mess we are in and if you do not understand or do not have all the facts, it becomes a problem.

  • johnt

    and please note the egotistical “I”. Well at least Warren has identifed herself for what she is. This is the face of the Democrat party, their support is somewhat muted right now but they’re in with this crowd of destructive filth all the way. Birds of a feather.
    Compare to the Tea Party.

  • bonnman

    The ad isn’t going to have any impact on the voters of Massachusetts, she’s pretty popular there and Brown I think will be toast.

    The Left is already tossing around Warren’s name for a Presidential run in 2016 because she has National appeal to liberals for obvious reasons. I think the goal here with this ad, even if it isn’t running Nationally, is to start to paint her as too far left for the National stage.

    • tailfins1959

      I don’t look for her to do very well with the Jewish population inside of 128. Remember the anti-semitism in the Occupy movement. Perhaps the commercial could be better targeted to show the anti-semitism in Occupy. As other posters have mentioned, she won’t do well outside of I-495.

    • swami7774

      Do you live here? Half the people in this state have never heard of her. T the extent that she’s “pretty popular”, it’s with hardcore libel who support any “D” sight unseen.
      As for her being talked up as presidential material–where have you seen that?

      • swami7774

        Third sentence should read “To the extent that she?s ?pretty popular?, it?s with hardcore libs…”
        Damned iPad keyboard.

  • tomhave

    Sccott Brown has already told Karl to get out. She is using this ad to raise even more money. Karl’s crossroads group blew a ton of money in Ohio only to make the situation worse. Scott Brown won with the Rove/Bush people and Kasich lost with them. Karl take a hike so real conservatives can start winning again.

    • tomhave

      Meant to say Scott Brown won without the Bush/rove people in 2010.

  • Menlo

    Laura Ingraham was right about that.
